Overdraft Privilege

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.

We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or line or credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans.

This notice explains our standard overdraft practices.

►&nbspWhat are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

We may authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number

Automatic bill payments

We may not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you opt-in (see below):

ATM transactions

Debit card transactions

We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your debit card purchase or ATM card withdrawal will be declined.

►&nbspWhat fees will I be charged if First American Bank pays my overdraft?

Under our standard overdraft practices:

We will charge you a fee of $39.50 each time we pay an overdraft that overdraws your account by more than $10.00.

The maximum number of fees assessed on paid overdraft items are limited to 6 per day.

Also, if your account is overdrawn for 2 or more consecutive days, we will charge an additional $5.00 per day.
